ORIGINAL: winterlight how do u work around that. For me i have IBS..i haven't played yet but wonder about it.. In my case it is pretty bad .. blushes.... I too have suffered with IBS, tho it always seemed to come in flare ups where it would be bad for a few weeks and then go away. So far the only problems with it have been with enema/anal play having a tendency to unsettle things; and a serious, well-past-neurotic need to have the bathroom door closed 'during'...which is technically against Master's rules. [8|] HOWEVER, I also managed to stop my last bout cold and havent had it recur again by switching to the "Specific Carbohydrate Diet". http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/index.htm Which completely SUCKS for a sugar-addicted sweettooth like me...but has my 'tummy' well under control so I can only complain so much. The diet is actually getting more tolerable as I learn more recipes and get used to substituting, and also since I finally got a yogurt maker. If you try the diet you would want to get one as soon as you determine that the diet works for you because this expands your food choices immensely. A lot of recipes you can use call for home-made yogurt, and you can't just use commercial yogurt because of the sugars in it. The only way I've cheated so far is by adding just a sprinkle of cocoa powder (sugar free, all chocolate, all the time) to a treat once in awhile. Because frankly nowhere have I found any justification for banning chocolate except for the sugar added to eating/baking chocolates. And we all have our weakness. *smile* Crohn's here, also SCD. For over a year, now, naughty more than I should be but OK. My problem was prednisone completely erasing my otherwise great libido - this is a tough one for play partners to understand and stick it out through for over a year but they did...I hope I never have to do that again. To the OP, I think it's really important to let that person know what your condition is, what your needs are and what might help. This isn't, I think, a first date conversation, maybe more a second or third date one. You're not defined completely by your needs in this case, but they're there and they have an impact. Also it seems like flares last FOREVER but even bad ones do eventually usually come under conrtrol. Hang in there.
